[quote=Anonymous]Have her checked for a UTI. UTI's in older women cause delirium symptoms. Its very important to get this checked quickly. As for post surgery delirium my mother suffered this after surgery in her 70's. Its quite disturbing to see. What we were told was, once the person is back in their normal environment they gradual come out of it. In our case, my mom was discharged to a skilled nursing facility vice her normal home environment, so it persisted for quite a long time. She would think people were family members, would tell stories about crazy things, think she was on a cruise ship, etc. To my understanding not much can be done for it, other then the brain needing time to work things out. I am sorry you all are dealing with this.[/quote]
